Ice breakers in science. When asked what animal they would be and why, Mason (r) said he wanted to be a llama so that he could open the sunroof and be able to stick his head out. Tyson (l)said a giraffe for the same reason. I know I have a few jokesters in class. #goodhueschool

Cell model projects are underway in 7th grade science! #GoodhueSchool

CLEP chemistry got to see sodium react with water today! #goodhueschool

Physical science class completing their physical/chemical change lab. #goodhueschool

My 7th graders set up their own experiments with bean plants and we are seeing some interesting results. Our tallest plant (way right) is growing with no sunlight. We also have plants growing in newspaper, cardboard (top left) and being fed Diet Coke (bottom left) #goodhueschool

7th graders are working on a Stop-Motion video project to represent the steps in the cell cycle. I will post a final video when we are finished! #goodhueschool

One of the 7th grade cell cycle stop-motion animated videos. These are tough videos to make and this group did a very nice job! #goodhueschool

Thank you GEF for the grant for the online gizmo’s! 7th graders are learning about genetics through the Mouse Genetics Gizmo. They learn so much on their own by manipulating the Gizmo’s themselves! #goodhueschool

A good reminder and easy tips to help build retention!

Great idea. My rubrics need revision and I love this idea! #goodhueschool

Impromptu lesson today! My chemistry students were reviewing naming compounds. They split into 4 groups and made a video on FlipGrid to explain the process of how to name/write formulas for ionic and covalent compounds. #studentsteaching #goodhueachool

CLEP chemistry students performed some cool demonstrations for 2nd graders yesterday. One group turned pennies into silver and gold and the other created a rainbow and made it disappear! They were pretty amazed! #goodhueschool

The January Walking challenge is pushing me to get out before its too slippery to walk! Go KMHS!! #KOMETWELLNESS

My new favorite way to get steps in once the boys go to bed. Snowshoeing by moonlight! It was gorgeous and So peaceful! #KometWellness

Good way to end the first week of school with a college chem lab! #KoMetsEngageConnectEmpower

Just setting up Twitter and looking to use it as a professional learning community in my first year teaching secondary science #myfirstTweet

#newwildcats November Twitter chat A1- I was surprised by how much time I had to spend preparing outside of the school day.
